Why isnt my phone working ?

If my phone is plugged in , my broadband internet telephone cable does not work and no adsl signal is recieved

When i unplug my phone the internet works fine

So basically they dont work together , but work seperately fine.

Ive tried all of the various points in this old house to see if the situation improves but it does not

Does anyone have the answer and solution to this.

The whole phone system seems to be one extention on top of another .

THE PHONE WITH NO FILTER IN THE LINE WILL SHORT CIRCUIT THE HIGH FREQENCY DIGITAL TO THE COMPUTER. LOOK AT THE URL THAT I SHOW AND YOU SEE THAT YOU WILL NEED A FILTER TO PREVENT THE DIGITAL FROM GOING TO THE PHONE. YOU CAN PICK UP ONE AT RADIO SHACK OR ANY PHONE SERVICEMAN. YOU CAN BORROW ONE FROM A FREIND TO CHECK THIS OUT. I HAVE A HALF DOZEN FLOATING AROUND HERE THAT ARE EXCESS. THEY AREN'T WORTH MUCH UNLESS YOU NEED ONE. http://www.homephonewiring.com/dsl.html

Filters?

i suggest gettin a splitter

maybe your filter is not working?

There is a phone jack filter to keep the audio and DSL lines apart . Install this filter at you phones (all of them) SHould have come with your DSL install kit, or pick up more of these at Radio Schmuck

out of interest, are you with AOL?

Have You Paid The Bill ?

You need filters on every phone jack except the computer using DSL service.

you need a new splitter filter.

How many extension phones do you have on your phone line?
If you exceed the aloted amount for a household (I forget how many) you will have problems there also.

Each device that you connect to your phoneline has a REN number; count up the total of all the devices attached - if this exceeds 4 then the phone line will not function correctly. You do require a microfilter device on each phone so check these too. Good luck.

All of the above answers are very good .try them
